Cleveland County's Steve Clark to compete in Charlotte races Tickets: General Admission $5.00 Reseryed $6.00 Sold at Cleveland County Fairgrounds Subscribe To The Herald 1987. This is his fourth year on the NASCAR Sportsman circuit and he says he will finish out this year and next in that division, and then give the Winston Cup Series a shot. Drivers like Jeff and Ward Burton and Dennis Setzer have made the move suc- cessfully in recent years. "I've been in the car business ever since I was in high school," he noted. "I've loved racing all my life. I went to a few races in Charlotte when I was a kid and I've just always wanted to do it." Clark qualified seventh for the Winston Sportsman race in Charlotte, and he was running sixth in the race before losing a valve. Despite running on seven cylin- ders, he still finished 15th. "We've got a new engine program put together, and I feel like we'll run a lot better this time," he says. "Crew Chief Mike Huss of Lincolnton and a lot of oth- ers have worked hard to get the car ready for these races." v By GARY STEWART Editor of the Herald Cleveland County race fans attending next week's time trials and special races being held in conjunction with the Mello Yello 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway will have the opportunity to pull for a hometown driv- er in the NASCAR Sportsman races. Steve Clark of Shelby, who owns and operates Southern Imports in Grover, will be competing for the $3,000 first place money in the Sportsman races on Wednesday night and Saturday morning. Clark - not by choice - is one of the best kept secrets of area racing. His huge race team tractor-trailer and his 1987 Monte Carlo which was once owned by Hendrick Racing and driven by Darrell Waltrip often sit outside his auto salvage business on Long Branch Road. But since that isn't one of the most heavily trav- eled roads in the county, and because he hasn't re- ceived a lot of publicity during his career and does not have a sponsor to promote him, he is virtually un- known in racing circles. But Clark has steadily improved since leaving dirt Five Brilliant full-cut diamonds in a classic Nr band of gold. Gift priced . ..
